Richard Sola's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Sola is superior in every respect. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional in every aspect. He has a great bedside manner.

Dr. Sola was my cardiologist for several years while I lived in the Safety Harbor/Clearwater area. I could not have asked for a smarter, better doctor. He inserted a stent to fix my RCA problem and provided hand-drawn pictures showing what he was able to fix and what areas of stenoses were not accessible. His explanations were always clear and concise. I was even able to watch my stent insertion. I hated leaving the area, but we had to move. My follow-on experiences with another cardiologist were not good; I am just now finding a new cardiologist in the state where we now live. I wish I could bring Dr. Sola with me to be my doc here in New Mexico. Thank you Dr. Sola for everything you did to keep my heart in good working order while I lived in Florida!

Dr Sola has great bedside manners and knows what he is talking about.I have severe vein insufficiency and with his knowledge he will be able to help me.I've been suffering a long time and he speaks slowly and in layman's terms so you understand.he has been a vein doctor for over 20+ years.thank you for giving me hope Dr Sola

Dr Sola is an AMAZING cardiologist. I was having what felt like heart attack symptoms and Dr Sola took all the precautions necessary to keep my heart safe while performing all the diagnostic tests promptly. The patient experience was a positive one as Dr Sola and his staff were very caring and professional.

I recently had a stent placement with dr. Sola. As far as communication level I would give him a -1. He made me very uncomfortable in answering any questions I had. He doesn’t offer any explanation of the procedure before or after. It’s almost a feeling of dealing with a robot. He may be good at what he does( time will tell) but I think it’s very important to be able to converse with your doctor and have good open relationship. I felt rushed and almost as if I was annoying him with my question

Last year my mom was hospitalized three times for fluid retention. Throughout the entire process I got the feeling that he was going through the motions and that he and his staff did not care. He kept bringing up her age. Luckily in one of her stays in the hospital we ran into a doctor who recommended adding another dieuretic and she has been stable ever since. My mom was transferred to another cardiologist without consulting her or her family. The transfer was for the best but handled poorly.

Not happy about his follow up

My father is an overall healthy and active 83 year old. When we learned of his abdominal aortic aneurysm, we feared the worst. Dr Sola and his amazing team did a SUPURB job (not just in the operating room but also in the office!). Bed side manner-Exceptional. Incisions were SO SMALL there was little risk of post op bleeding. I am a healthcare professional and I pay attention to detail. I can't speak well enough for him. Just exceptional! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
